Interspecific variability in sensitivity to UV radiation and subsequent recovery in selected isolates of marine bacteria
Article Abstract:
Different species of bacterioplankton have different sensitivities to UV-B radiation. UV radiation can penetrate several meters of seawater and bacterioplankton are the plankton organisms most severely affected by UV radiation.

Impact of virioplankton on archaeal and bacterial community richness as assessed in seawater batch cultures
Article Abstract:
Viruses in the oceans are acknowledged as important organisms that influence the cycling of organic matter and nutrients. Tests were conducted to learn more about them and it was concluded that individual members of the pelagic archaeal and bacterial communities could be affected differently by the presence of virus lila virioplankton.

Viral abundance, decay, and diversity in the meso- and bathypelagic waters on the North Atlantic
Article Abstract:
The viral abundance, decay rates, and diversity in the mesopelagic and bathypelagic waters of the North Atlantic are determined. It is concluded that the viral production calculated from the viral decay is insufficient to maintain the high viral abundance in the deep North Atlantic.
